Abstract
Boundary effects for invasion percolation are introduced and discussed here. The presence of boundaries determines a set of critical exponents characteristic of the boundary. In this paper we present numerical simulations showing a remarkably different fractal dimension for the region of the percolating cluster near the boundary. In fact, near the surface we find a value ofD sur 51.6760.03, with respect to the bulk value of D bul 51.8760.01. Furthermore, we are able to present a theoretical computation of the fractal dimension near the boundary in fairly good agreement with numerical data.File in questo prodotto:
